Iquirms - Iquirms

trying to watch Bridgerton in my sitting room but this room has got roughly five windows, two of them coming from the ceiling, and it's just. it's not working. there are SO MANY dark scenes where all i can see is a pretty pink dress and some candles. "Who's that on screen?" my dad asks and i cannot reply. I do not know. i cant see their face. its a never ending struggle. supernatural. the walking dead. the vampire diaries. merlin. supernatural again. every single tv show has scenes that you just cant watch during the day, even with the curtains closed and of course they happen to be slap bang in the middle of an interesting episode or the like

Starfire 😱😱

i got my tongue pierced (go with me on this) and i can talk for about five minutes before it starts to get irritated and sore, so i stop talking. except i live a fairly busy life and cant just stop talking and multiple times, during the day (i am on day 1 of the piercing and not doing very well tbh) i have remarked - both to my family and myself - that if i knew sign language it would make my life easier.

Sign language could make everyones lives easier, deaf or not. Communicating across a room, keeping a secret, trying to plan a surprise, including deaf people in a large conversation where there's no time to repeat it to them (if they can lip read), hell even cheating on a test would be easier! as a language, it's possibly one of the only ones that would genuinly make everybodies life easier to know. It should at least be an option to learn in schools, if not mandatory.

reblog if you think sign language should be taught as a language in schools.

Its a SOUP!?!?

Just found out my internet friends have never had gumbo, this is sickening and distressing information

Finding out that my sisters boyfriend is lowkey racist is not what i expected to come from this excursion to get dinner but ig thats how it is thesw days. Damn. Gotta kill him now

Potato of luck pls i am about to go on holiday i need the luck

Takashi Shirogane deserves so much love

he deserves it all and im sick of people pretending like he doesnt. that man is so strong and resiliant and beautiful like WHAT. even if it wasn't confirmed that Shiro was gay and sick until like season five he still deserves love even before that. In season one, he was so truamatised and like just deserved rest but he fought and he won and he lived. And even after the whole clone thing ( which i do like to pretend never happened ), Shiro never blamed anyone for not figuring it out and he never, ever resented anyone for it. He's such a sweet soul, like hes so... human. He loves, Shiro is a pack person, he thrives around people. And when it was confirmed that he was gay and disabled?

EVEN BETTER. Sure, we only saw him with Adam for like four seconds and then this random throw away character, and sure, it was confirmed like a season before the show got kinda bad and then it ended, but it wasn't one of his defining traits. Shiro's defining traits were that he was kind and strong and a good leader and he was tired sure, but he lived. Shiro lived after everything he went through, all the confusion and the torture, and he deserved to. I love him and I'm sick of him, and Hunk and Pidge, being overshadowed in ships like Klance and Kallura. Give Shiro time so show you how amazing he is. Also, he is BEAUTIFUL. like WOW. GOD CRAFTED SPECIMEN. look at him:

he's sooo i love him.

Keith's got a teddy. He's had it since he was eleven. He found it on the side of the road, and despite Shiro's protests, took it home with him. He fixed it up, patched it where there were holes and gave it at least three washes in soft detergant. Shiro wasn't impressed with it in the beginning but he liked it in the end. It was a hippo. Keith called it Mr. Hippo. He took it with him everywhere.

He got made fun of for it in the Garrison, his roommate saw it and told his friends, but Keith didn't care. Mr Hippo was his friend and he was going everywhere with him, no matter what. At sixteen years old, he still slept with the teddy and was unashamed of it. He couldn't sleep without it.

At seventeen years old, Keith flew away in a magical space lion and they had zero expectations of going back. Mr. Hippo was still in the shack. It was the main reason why he couldn't sleep on the castle, despite what Lance wanted to believe, and the main reason why he went to the training room and then passed out. If he couldn't sleep without it, then he could pass out without it.

Throughout the whole ordeal with Voltron, Keith didn't miss things on earth. He was exactly where he wanted to be, a pilot and in space and he had Shiro back. Everything was exactly where he wanted to be, where he was supposed to be. Keith wasn't made for life on Earth, he was made for the stars and now that he was here, he would never leave. But he did think about Mr. Hippo. He even thought about asking Lance to knit him a plushie to look like the hippo but he shut that down immediatly, unwilling to talk about his secret teddy that would no doubt be used to humanise him.

Shiro most likely wouldn't make fun of him for it, he probably would have smiled a little bitterly and reminisce on the life they used to have.

When Keith got back to earth, he visited the shack where he stayed for a year. Everything was the exact same as how he left it, conspiracy board up and string tied to it. Shiro's clothes that he arrived in lays on the ground in the makeshift bedroom, forgotten and deserving that position. He didn't dare to open the fridge, afraid of whatever would have formed in his oat milk. On Keith's bed, however, is something he could never forget.

Mr. Hippo.

A little dusty, but otherwise the same. Keith smiled softly and reached out to hold it gently, feeling something in him settle when he felt the familiar change of fabric on the back where he patched it with some pink curtains Shiro was throwing out. His stitching was bad then, and it had to be replaced many times over the years, but Mr. Hippo stayed the same. He stayed the same plushie Keith found on the side of the road, abandoned and left to rot in the dirt.

Keith brought him back to the Atlas where they were staying and Shiro did smile when he saw it. Lance didn't make fun of him for it when he brought it into the bed later on, and Keith slept better than he ever did.

i love people who do this because it saves me having to search for hours for a while !!

🦇 My 30 Favorite Batfam Fics of 2024 🦇

I’m continuing my annual tradition of sharing some of my favorite fics that came out in the past year (you can see last year’s list here).

If you read any of these fics, please make sure to leave some kudos and comments! And there are so many amazing fics I wasn’t able to include, so I encourage you to show some appreciation to your own favorites!

Please be sure to read all tags and warnings. I’ve provided warnings for the darkest fics.

All of these fics were completed in 2024. I only do one fic per author, but definitely check out all of these authors’ other works. Also, most of these feature tim, because he is my favorite. Now, without further ado…

Please, please, please sign if you can !! This is very important

While the EU can be very progressive with its initiatives, its still very conservative towards certain things. Even if you don't think its still happening in your country, it probably is. Research and surverys are done about it, and in a survey in my country (conducted and posted last year) 11 out of 35 survey answers claimed that they (majority gay males) were there not of their own free will! There are still roughly 20+ conversion camps/practises in my country! Even if your goverment is working against these things (hate crimes, conversion camps, legalisation against the rights of LGBTQ minorities, the exclusion and discrimination of those minorities) its better for the EU as a whole to work against it!

If you cannot sign because you're not a meember of the EU, pleade reblog and spread awareness!
